The precursor to Broadway and the silver screen's On the Town, Fancy Free is a fun, energetic ballet that presents three sailors and their escapades on shore leave in Manhattan. Also on the program is Symphony in Three Movements, a collaboration between composer Stravinski and choreographer Balanchine. It is a kinetic tour de force, striking for its simplicity and power. The Company will also present a new piece by Benjamin Millepied set to a commissioned score by Thierry Escaich.
